The requirements of high power density, excellent cycling ability, flexibility and low cost, are of paramount importance and critical to develop flexible lithium ion batteries (LIBs) for wearable instruments. Here we reported the rational design and fabrication of a flexible self-supported lithium ion anode material, which consists of thin MoS 2 nanosheets grown on the surfaces of carbon@TiO 2 core-shell nanofibers. The resulting hierarchical ternary nanocomposites exhibited high reversible specific capacity (∼1460 mA h g −1 at 100 mA g −1 ), excellent cyclability (little capacity loss even after 1000 cycles) and rate performance (928 mA h g −1 at 2 A g −1 ) as anode in LIB. Furthermore, the binder-free anode material demonstrated new opportunities for flexible lithium ion batteries. The superior lithium storage performance is derived from the present well-designed hierarchical nanofiber structure and the synergic effect of different components and numerous interfaces.

Graphical C@TiO 2-x photocatalyst with oxygen vacancy and carbon doping co-structure prepared by heat treatment is reported. It provides the possibility of regulating semiconductor photocatalysts to degrade pollutants in wastewater based on an integrated strategy. Oxygen Vacancy (OVs) and carbon doping of the photocatalyst body will significantly enhance the photocatalytic efficiency. However, synchronous regulation of these two aspects is challenging. In this paper, a novel C@TiO 2-x photocatalyst was designed by coupling the surface defect and doping engineering of titania, which can effectively remove rhodamine B (RhB) and has a relatively high performance with wide pH range, high photocatalytic activity and good stability. Within 90 minutes, the photocatalytic degradation rate of RhB by C@TiO 2-x (94.1 % at 20 mg/L) is 28 times higher than that of pure TiO 2 . Free radical trapping experiments and electron spin resonance techniques reveal that superoxide radicals (⋅O 2− ) and photogenerated holes (h + ) play key roles in the photocatalytic degradation of RhB. This study demonstrates the possibility of regulating photocatalysts to degrade pollutants in wastewater based on an integrated strategy.

Semiconductor-based photocatalysis by utilizing solar energy for sustainable organic pollutant elimination has been a promising tactic to alleviate environmental issues. Nevertheless, the development of robust and efficient photocatalysts to degrade organic pollutants still faces major challenges because of insufficient charge separation. Here we design and fabricate a heterojunction consisting of copper, carbon-modified TiO 2 , and sulfur-doped g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets (i.e., S-C 3 N 4 /Cu/C-TiO 2 ). The heterostructure affords a remarkable synergistic photocatalysis for tetracycline hydrochloride degradation, achieving an 82.6% removal efficiency within 30 min under visible light irradiation, about 15.4 and 7.3 times higher than that of S-C 3 N 4 and C-TiO 2 , respectively. The superior performance is attributed to the synergy between Cu doping and the Z-scheme heterojunction, which not only enhances the interfacial electric field effect, facilitating charge separation, but also boosts the redox capability. The charge carrier transfer between Cu/C-TiO 2 and S-C 3 N 4 follows a Z-scheme, as verified by trapping experiments, electron spin-resonance spectroscopy, and density functional theory calculations. Furthermore, the tetracycline hydrochloride degradation pathways are enunciated by liquid chromatograph mass spectrometry analysis. This work provides an effective approach for constructing high-performance photocatalysts that have potential in environmental remediation.

To address the growing need for high-performance microwave absorbing materials in modern communication and radar technologies, this study proposes a hierarchical heterostructured engineering strategy to integrate multiple loss mechanisms and optimize electromagnetic wave absorption. The hierarchical heterostructured C/TiO 2 /Ni@C composites were constructed via in situ hydrothermal synthesis combined with high-temperature calcination. The microwave absorption properties of the composite can be tuned by adjusting the MXene doping level and pyrolysis temperature. The TiO 2 /C framework derived from MXene and porous Ni@C microspheres derived from Ni-MOF enhance dielectric losses (interfacial polarization and dipole relaxation). The precipitated Ni magnetic nanoparticles improve magnetic losses. Compared with traditional microwave absorbing materials such as single-phase carbon or metal oxides, the C/TiO 2 /Ni@C-2 composite thermally decomposed at 600 °C exhibits excellent microwave absorption properties with an optimal reflection loss of −57 dB at a thickness of 4.26 mm and a frequency of 7.1 GHz. Upon optimization to a thickness of 2.16 mm, its effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) extends to 5.34 GHz (12.43–17.77 GHz), thereby fully encompassing the Ku band. The exceptional microwave absorption performance is attributed to its distinctive magnetic-dielectric layered architecture, heterointerface synergy, and optimized impedance matching, offering critical insights for designing next-generation broadband microwave absorbers.

The exploration of low-cost, high-performance, and stable photocatalysts for the highly efficient conversion and storage of solar energy in hydrogen is of great importance. This study presents a novel pyridine-type carbonitrides (CN)-modified surface-disordered C-doped TiO2 (PCN/CTiO2@TiO2–x) catalyst used for photocatalytic H2 evolution from water. The employed preparation method of hydrolysis–calcination has the advantages of low-cost raw materials and easy scale-up. The optimized PCN/CTiO2@TiO2–x exhibited an impressive hydrogen evolution rate of ∼3743 μmol h–1 g–1 under simulated solar light (AM 1.5) and remained stable after five cycles. The maximal quantum efficiency reached 37.5% at 370 nm and 7.0% at 400 nm, which was superior or comparable to several reported relevant TiO2-based catalysts. Benefiting from the pyridine-type CN modification, disordered surface layer (TiO2–x), and increased oxygen vacancies/Ti3+ species, the photogenerated electrons moved rapidly from the visible-response C-doped TiO2 to CN to participate in the photoreduction reaction, which led to a marked improvement in the catalytic activity.

Owing to their unique structural stability and impressive long-term cycling performance, coated hollow structures are highly attractive for energy storage systems, especially batteries. Many efforts have been devoted and various strategies have been proposed to prepare such materials. In the present work, we propose a self-templating thermolysis strategy, different from traditional wet processing methods, to fabricate cuprous sulfide hollow spheres coated with different shells, by exploiting the thermal decomposition properties of the core (CuS) and the protection provided by the shell. To demonstrate the generality of this synthetic approach, three different coating materials (carbon, TiO 2 , MoS 2 ) have been chosen to prepare Cu 2– x S@C, Cu 2– x S@TiO 2 and Cu 2– x S@MoS 2 hollow spheres. All synthesized composite materials were then assembled as electrodes and tested in lithium batteries, showing excellent cycling stability. In particular, the electrochemical properties of Cu 2– x S@C were thoroughly investigated. The results of this work provide an alternative route to prepare coated metal sulfide hollow spheres for energy storage applications.

TC4 (Ti–6Al–4V) nanoparticles (TC4NPs) and silicon nanoparticles (SiNPs) with a median size of 146 and 51 nm were prepared by sand milling from scrap produced by refining silicon and TC4. The SiNPs and TC4NPs are mixed, carbonized, and leached in different proportions to obtain Si@C/TiO2@C/Hollow-C anode materials. The special structure of the anode materials provided more space for the volume expansion of silicon. The anatase TiO2 in TC4NPs relieves the volume expansion and reduces the transfer impedance, and the lithiated TiO2 can promote the electrical conductivity of the Si@C/TiO2@C/Hollow-C anode during the charge/discharge process. Furthermore, the Si@C/TiO2@C/Hollow-C (SiNPs/TC4NPs = 2:1) electrode delivers excellent rate performance; after cycling at a series of higher current densities, 92% of the original level of the reversible capacity can be maintained. The Si@C/TiO2@C/Hollow-C (SiNPs/TC4NPs = 2:1) anode retains 558 mA h·g–1 after 400 cycles with a large current density of 1000 mA·g–1. The synthesis method of the Si@C/TiO2@C/Hollow-C anode is a low-cost, facile, and nontoxic process, endowing it with the potential for application as energy materials for mass production.
